My name is John Graf and I grew up all over Los
Angeles. As a child, I would watch other kids play
with toy guns, tricycles and such. I walked around
with a camera like a little geek and most of the
time without any film inside. I found it so
fascinating that this little box could grab a piece
of time and I could take that with me. That was much
cooler to me than a skateboard.

I have always been interested
in anything to do with film. I worked as a lighting
tech at Paramount Studios for over twenty years and
was on the crew of several movies and television
shows, but I have always been more interested in
still photography.

During my shoots I like to
have a sense of humor in the air to allow the
subject's true personality to shine through for
moments worth capturing. This atmosphere is seen
through my images as the subjects seem very at ease.

I hope you enjoy my site
and I look forward to meeting and working with
you...take care!
